2002 Workhorse P320032

ON VACATION IN OCT. OF 2013, IN OUR 2002 WINNEBAGO SIGHTSEER, ON A WORKHORSE CHASSIS, MADE BY GM, WE PULLED INTO A GAS STATION IN ASHEBORO, NORTH CAROLINA TO GET SOME GAS. WHEN WE WENT TO START THE VEHICLE, NO JUICE TO DASH OR STARTER-WE WERE DEAD IN THE WATER! HAD IT TOWED TO GREENSBORO, NC. AT THE GM RV GARAGE, THEY PUT A NEW IGNITION SWITCH IN, AND SAID THAT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE WORKHORSE RV. WE SPENT $600.00 OUT OF OUR OWN POCKET ! WE ALSO HAD TO STAY THERE FOR 3 DAYS OUT OF OUR TRIP. FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED WITH NAPA PART # KS6805. *TR

IGNITION SWITCH MELTED,STRANDING MY WIFE AND I IN THE ENTRANCE OF A KOA. MOTOR HOME WAS LOCKED DOWN, BRAKES WOULDN'T RELEASE TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD. CALLED GOOD SAM CLUB, A MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO HOT WIRE THE COMPUTER AND GET US OFF THE ROAD. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH A WIRING KIT UPDATE I HAD TO PURCHASE. WORK HORSE KNEW OF THE PROBLEM PRIOR TO 2004 WHEN A CORRECTION MEMO WAS WRITTEN. AFTER 3 DAYS AND A COST OF 754 DOLLARS THE MOTOR HOME IS ON THE ROAD AGAIN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 WORKHORSE P320032. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH UNDER DRY CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR TWO HOURS BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE LOST BRAKE AND STEERING POWER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED TO REPLACE THE SWITCH. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT THE FAILURE MAY STILL OCCUR BECAUSE THE IGNITION SWITCH MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE VEHICLE'S POWER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 26,045.
